Unfortunately, I don't have the mandate to look into the difference in capabilities and I don't have the expertise. Even though Carleigh and Chris are very smart, we don't have that capacity. I'd say, however, that at $77 billion for 15 Canadian surface combatants, I am worried that the navy may get these 15 ships, but that the cost might be having to forego other types of ships that would be beneficial for Canada's defence at the same price tag.
For example, for $77 billion we get 15 ships under the current procurement program. Maybe there is a way to get smaller ships or different ships, but for the same price having submarines or other types of ships that would be beneficial for the navy and for Canada's sovereignty.
However, I cannot pronounce on this and the mix of these different ships, because I don't have the expertise in military needs and military doctrine. Those, though, are the types of question that I think are worth asking.
